Its story
In Serpens shines at 244.9 light years an orange class K star. Its light set out around 1781, just as William Herschel was discovering with his telescope the planet Uranus from Bath, expanding the known Solar System. A warm-toned star, cooler than the Sun, adding its amber nuance to the sinuous body of the celestial serpent.
